To try and distract myself from sh!7e bonnet I got for the R last week I decided to mock up the RIP kit that I have been clumsily putting together !
This was the motley collection of pipes and cheap silicone hoses I hoped would go together to form my RIP kit. (bottom pipe is one of Black Beasts creations)

Bottom pipe fitted complete with 3'' TB and dump valve (temporarily plumbed in with the washer pipe that came with it !). May loose the dump valve eventually, the 16t I rebuilt had a Forge blanking plate fitted and I don't have a decent re-circ to replace it with ! (oh yeah, haven't sorted out iAC valve hose yet)

Top pipe mocked up with silicone bends, once I'm happy with the fit I'll trim back the hoses rather than have half a foot of ally pipe shoved up each one !

The top pipe sits a little high over the engine so I will likely trim down the rear hose to pull it down a bit although it doesn't foul the bonnet . Not sure yet about the 45 degree hose connecting to the top IC connection, doesn't fit as comfortably as I'd like, may replace it with a 63mm hump hose.
